Tillerson to arrive in Japan Wednesday in shadow of N Korean threat

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, a former oil executive with no government experience, has yet to make an impact in Washington, where he has not even appointed a senior staff.

Great. I'm sure we all feel safer already...

Great. I'm sure we all feel safer already...

With a bombastic and inexperienced politician in the White House clamoring for an enlarged military, with an inexperienced man heading a State Department lacking senior staff, with State Department positions being eliminated (probably those who offer perspectives different from Bannon, who seems bent on a fourth turning), with a nutjob running a nutjob North Korean regime, with no stable leader in South Korea, I might feel safer were I somewhere closer to Tierra del Fuego.

I wonder if Putin's spoken to his pal RExxon T. Russian oligarchs have investments in North Korea. The tangled weave winds tighter.

Thats why I like the Trump administration

If 15 years ago someone has said this would play out the way it is happening right now, I'm guessing most if not all of you would be saying "it would never happen".

Now, let's imagine with this current ship of fools in control of the 'USS America', that China will be less willing to get rid of that toxic door mat aka Phatty Mc Nutty, so how do you think it will work when the US wants action that the Chinese don't and the South Koreans are too busy cleaning house to look up while the Japanese are freaking out and preparing to arm up? Sounds like a really bad B-movie that went straight to infomercial laden ultra late night TV. Sometime this year, someone is going to blink. I sure hope it's all for the best.

It feels worse than the mid 80's did with that cold war, going to drop the bomb any moment because back then you had two sides that knew it was a losing battle to start while today we have one raging nutter hell bent on getting nukes to kill another raging nutter hell bent on doing whatever he pleases, laws be damned!

Who's threatening who? Confused here.

Yeah now the whole USA politics IS a joke.

What's he doing coming here? He should be going to Pyongyang.

He is a successful businessman. Figure why Trump prohibited reporters to question him and the trip include China where China approvewGTrump business including escortservices.

What about the shadow of the US threat?
